Beer In Ads #612: Real Gusto

May 22, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is from 1953, for Schlitz. The double-truck ad shows an engaging stadium beer seller pouring two bottles Schlitz into paper cups at the same time. I’ve always liked the look of those Schlitz bottles, and the labels look so shiny.

    Schlitz was my beer of choice going back to my 18th Birthday. It was available on-tap Friday-Sunday in the bar room at our Fraternity in Madison and was the tap beer at the AMBER GRID Pub where I tended bar. Was sorry when it disappeared during the consolidation of the 70/80’s
